The Chute Lurker is a BIONICLE combination model introduced in 2005. It can be built using the parts of 8745 Roporak and 8746 Keelerak. The instructions were split between the instructions of these sets.

Description

The Chute Lurker's back features a Rhotuka Launcher that fires a silver Rhotuka spinner. Pressing down on its head causes its mandibles to pinch together.

History

The Chute Lurker species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe. When the Chute System of Metru Nui was damaged by the Great Cataclysm, Chute Lurkers were forced to abandon their normal hunting ground due to a lack of food. Once emerged, these creatures became targets of the Visorak.

Abilities and Traits

Chute Lurkers are capable of breathing Liquid Protodermis, and, though they can breathe air just as easily, they usually avoid being outside of the Chutes more than necessary.

Chute Lurkers hunt by anchoring themselves at a location inside a Chute with their arms (preferably at a sharp curve, where a traveler is less likely to spot them ahead of time), and they wait for something to pass close enough (such as another Rahi or Matoran) so they can grab it. Once caught by a Chute Lurker, there is rarely any chance of escape, unless aided by another.
